.SH NAME
prctl \- get or set the resource controls of running processes, tasks, and
projects
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
\fBprctl\fR [\fB-P\fR] [\fB-t\fR [basic | privileged | system]]
     [\fB-n\fR \fIname\fR [\fB-srx\fR] [\fB-v\fR \fIvalue\fR] [\fB-e\fR | \fB-d\fR \fIaction\fR] [\fB-p\fR \fIpid\fR]]

.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBprctl\fR utility allows the examination and modification of the resource
controls associated with an active process, task, or project on the system. It
allows access to the  basic and privileged limits and the  current  usage  on
the     specified entity.
.sp
.LP
See \fBresource_controls\fR(7) for a description of the resource controls
supported in the current release of the Solaris operating system.
.SH OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-d\fR | \fB-e\fR \fIaction\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Disables (\fB-d\fR) or enables (\fB-e\fR) the specified \fIaction\fR on the
resource control value specified by \fB-v\fR, \fB-t\fR, and \fB-p\fR. If any of
the \fB-v\fR, \fB-t\fR, or \fB-p\fR options are unspecified, they match any
value, privilege, or recipient pid. For example, specifying only \fB-v\fR
modifies the first resource control with matching value, matching any privilege
and recipient pid. If no matching resource control value is found, a new value
is added as if \fB-s\fR were specified.
.sp
\fBActions:\fR
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBall\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 17n
This action is only available with \fB-d\fR. It disables all actions. This
fails on resource control values that have the \fBdeny\fR global flag.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBdeny\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 17n
Indicates that the resource control attempts to deny granting the resource to
the process, task, project, or zone on a request for resources in excess of the
resource control value. \fBdeny\fR actions can not be enabled if the resource
control has the \fBno-deny\fR global flag. \fBdeny\fR actions can not be
disabled if the resource control has the \fBdeny\fR global flag.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBsignal\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 17n
This action is only available with \fB-d\fR. It deactivates the \fBsignal\fR
action.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBsignal\fR=\fIsignum\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 17n
In the \fBsignal=\fR\fIsignum\fR action, \fIsignum\fR is a signal number (or
string representation of a signal). Setting a \fBsignal\fR action on a resource
control with the \fBno-local-action\fR global flag fails. A limited set of
signals can be sent. See \fBNOTES\fR for additional details.
.RE

.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-i\fR \fIidtype\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Specifies the type of the id operands. Valid \fIidtype\fRs are \fBprocess\fR,
\fBtask\fR, \fBproject\fR, or \fBzone\fR. Also allowed are \fBpid\fR,
\fBtaskid\fR, \fBprojid\fR, and \fBzoneid\fR. The default id type, if the
\fB-i\fR option is omitted, is \fBprocess\fR.
.sp
For a modify operation, the entity to which id operands are members is the
target entity. For instance, setting a project resource control on an \fB-i\fR
\fBprocess\fR sets the resource control on the project to which each given
process argument is a member.
.sp
For a get operation, the resource controls are listed for all entities to which
the id operands are members. For example, \fB-i\fR \fBtask\fR \fItaskid\fR
lists the task, project, and zone resource controls for the task, and for the
project and zone to which that task is a member.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-n\fR \fIname\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Specifies the name of the resource control to get or set. If the \fIname\fR is
unspecified, all resource controls are retrieved.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-p\fR \fIpid\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
When manipulating (using \fB-s\fR, \fB-r\fR, \fB-x\fR, \fB-d\fR, or \fB-e\fR) a
basic task project, or zone resource control values, a recipient \fIpid\fR can
be specified using \fB-p\fR. When setting a new basic resource control or
controls on a task, project, or zone, the \fB-p\fR option is required if the
\fB-i\fR \fIidtype\fR option argument is not \fBprocess\fR.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-P\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Display resource control values in space delimited format.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-r\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Replaces the first resource control value (matching with the \fB-t\fR
\fBprivilege\fR) with the new value specified through the \fB-v\fR option.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-s\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Set a new resource control value.
.sp
This option requires the \fB-v\fR option.
.sp
If you do not specify the \fB-t\fR option, basic privilege is used. If you want
to set a basic task, process, or zone rctl, \fB-p\fR is required. If \fB-e\fR
or \fB-d\fR are also specified, the action on the new \fBrctl\fR is set as
well.
.sp
For compatibility with prior releases, this option is implied if \fB-v\fR is
specified, without any of \fB-e\fR, \fB-d\fR, \fB-r\fR, or \fB-x\fR.
.sp
See \fBresource_controls\fR(7) for a description of unit modifiers and scaling
factors you can use to express large values when setting a resource control
value.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-t\fR [ \fBbasic\fR | \fBprivileged\fR | \fBsystem\fR ]\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Specifies which resource control type to set. Unless the "lowerable" flag is
set for a resource control, only invocations by users (or setuid programs) who
have privileges equivalent to those of root can modify privileged resource
controls. See \fBrctlblk_set_value\fR(3C) for a description of the
\fBRCTL_GLOBAL_LOWERABLE\fR flag. If the type is not specified, \fBbasic\fR is
assumed. For a get operation, the values of all resource control types,
including \fBsystem\fR, are displayed if no type is specified.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-v\fR \fIvalue\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Specifies the value for the resource control for a set operation. If no
\fIvalue\fR is specified, then the modification (deletion, action enabling or
disabling) is carried out on the lowest-valued resource control with the given
type.
.sp
See \fBresource_controls\fR(7) for a description of unit modifiers and scaling
factors you can use to express large values when setting a resource control
value.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-x\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Deletes the specified resource control value. If the delete option is not
provided, the default operation of \fBprctl\fR is to modify a resource control
value of matching value and privilege, or insert a new value with the given
privilege. The matching criteria are discussed more fully in \fBsetrctl\fR(2).
.RE

.sp
.LP
If none of the \fB-s\fR, \fB-r\fR, \fB-x\fR, \fB-v\fR, \fB-d\fR, or \fB-e\fR
options are specified, the invocation is considered a get operation. Otherwise,
it is considered a modify operation.
.SH OPERANDS
The following operand is supported:
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIid\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 6n
The \fBID\fR of the entity (\fBprocess\fR, \fBtask\fR, \fBproject\fR, or
\fBzone\fR) to interrogate. If the invoking user's credentials are unprivileged
and the entity being interrogated possesses different credentials, the
operation fails. If no \fIid\fR is specified, an error message is returned.

\fBExample 3 \fRAdjusting Resources

.sp

Using the target project, identify the resource limit value before the change:

	    system            16.0EB     max    deny                  -

current limit is 256 Megabytes.

\fBExample 4 \fRModifying CPU Caps for a Project
.sp
.LP
The \fBprctl\fR command can use the \fBproject.cpu-cap\fR resource control (see
\fBresource_controls\fR(7)) to set and modify CPU caps for a project. (The same
resource control can be used in the \fB/etc/project\fR file. See
\fBproject\fR(5)) The following command modifies the CPU cap to limit
\fBuser.smith\fR  to three CPUs:

.sp
.in +2
.nf
# \fBprctl -r -t privileged -n project.cpu-cap -v 300 -i project user.smith\fR
.fi
.in -2
.sp

.sp
.LP
The \fBprctl\fR \fB-r\fR option, used above, is used to dynamically change a
CPU cap for a project or zone. For example, the following command will change
the cap set in the preceding command to 80 percent:

.sp
.in +2
.nf
# \fBprctl -r -t privileged -n project.cpu-cap -v 80 -i project user.smith\fR
.fi
.in -2
.sp

.sp
.LP
To remove a CPU cap, enter:

.sp
.in +2
.nf
# \fBprctl -x -n project.cpu-cap $$\fR
.fi
.in -2
.sp

.LP
\fBExample 5 \fRModifying CPU Caps for a Zone
.sp
.LP
The \fBprctl\fR command can use the \fBzone.cpu-cap\fR resource control (see
\fBresource_controls\fR(7)) to set and modify CPU caps for a zone. (The same
resource control can be manipulated using the \fBzonecfg\fR(8) command.) The
following command modifies the CPU cap to limit the global zone to 80 percent
of a CPU:

.sp
.in +2
.nf
# \fBprctl -t privileged -n zone.cpu-cap -v 80 -i zone global\fR
.fi
.in -2
.sp

.sp
.LP
The cap can be lowered to 50% using:

.sp
.in +2
.nf
# \fBprctl -r -t privileged -n zone.cpu-cap -v 50 -i zone global\fR

issue the \fBSIGXCPU\fR signal, and file size related controls can send the
\fBSIGXFSZ\fR signal.
